Figure Lengend Snippet: 10-week combined exercise preconditioning prevented 1-week hindlimb immobilization-induced muscle atrophy in mice. (A–C) Body weight, gross weight gain and food intake data during 10-week exercise preconditioning. ∗ p < 0.05 vs. C; # p < 0.05 vs. E. Two-way ANOVA was used and data are shown as means ± standard error of the mean ( SEM ) (C, n = 16, E, n = 8, E+5003, n = 8). (D) Food intake data during 1-week immobilization. ∗ p < 0.05 vs. C. Two-way ANOVA was used and data are shown as means ± SEM . (E–F) aDMA level indicated for Prmt1 enzymatic activity after 10-week TC-E−5003 administration via subcutaneous injection at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, once daily, 5 days a week. (G–J) Skeletal muscle functions tests, G, grip strength, H, suspension time of hang test, I, time of the latency to fall in rotarod test, J, maximum voluntary climbing capacity (MVCC) test. (K–P) Total hindlimb mass and specific muscle mass of various parts of hindlimb, GAS, gastrocnemius, SOL, soleus, QUA, quadriceps femoris, lateralis, TA, tibialis anterior, EDL, extensor digitorum longus. H-S, ∗ p < 0.05 vs. C; ∗∗ p < 0.01 vs. C; # p < 0.05 vs. Im; ## p < 0.01 vs. Im; $ p < 0.05 vs. E + Im; $$ p < 0.01 vs. E + Im. Two-way ANOVA was used and data are shown as means ± SEM (C, n = 8, Im, n = 8, E + Im, n = 8, E+5003+Im, n = 8).
